Take your save the princess complex back over to Zelda. Haru is trash tier on a good day. Wanna be outlet mall version of Mitsuru Kirijo. <-Real Best Girl I'd rather you have confessed to the lady who runs the Flower Shop than Haru paint drying on the wall has more McPersonality than me Okumura.

Honestly I'm gonna replay P5 a few times. I have enjoyed every single minute of it and while I'm not done yet (I probably have a few hours left as I am near end game) I can say I would enjoy replaying it again.

I followed a schedule all that was left for me was ****** trophies, fishing mini game and button mashing to complete some of the retro games. I'll pass. As an adult devoting 750,862 hours to that game was a goddamn drag and it could've been 30% shorter without losing anything. Japanese people don't notice because they live like elves. TBH half the palaces in the game were digital chloroform and I honestly fell asleep more than any other push for game completion in my life. It was upsetting.

I'll still say it's the best jrpg of all time for certain, but that's a remarkably low bar to set for westerners and especially us short lived orcs I mean Americans. Everyone commented on how even the palaces felt randomly generated when they weren't and all reviews that were 9/10 took off a solid point because of that and I agree with the 9/10 premise, but also the character were not the masterpieces they make them out to be. Compare them and their storylines to 4 or 3, hell play Arena or especially Ultimax and watch the dynamic between 4's characters and it's a kick in the balls by comparison. When the only thing keeping you glued to the game is confidants and they all are about as interesting as watching paint dry with these plain ass characters and minimal set dressings, it grates on the sensibilities. They did a great job and I'll give it a "best jrpg" and a 9/10 score but honestly I spent 30% of that game bare minimum regretting being born.
